  abstract = {{W}e analyzed the diversity and identity of the rhizobial populations nodulating an invasive {A}ustralian legume tree {A}cacia mearnsii in a natural {Q}uercus suber forest in the {E}l {K}ala {N}ational {P}ark, {A}lgeria. {S}oils from three different forest plots corresponding to non invaded original {Q}. suber stand, partially invaded by {A}. mearnsii, and totally invaded (monodominant) {A}. mearnsii stand were used to trap nodulating bacteria with the same tree species. {S}ymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria were isolated from root nodules and characterized by sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer region, then submitted to phylogenetic analyses. {A} total of 67 isolates was obtained, representing the 3 different forest plots, all renodulating {A}. mearnsii in monoxenic conditions. {P}hylogenetic analyses showed that all isolates belong to different {B}radyrhizobium lineages, according to each of the three locations with little intermixing between forest plots. {T}hese results illustrate the adaptation of nodulating {B}radyrhizobium populations to the new soil conditions induced by invasion. {T}his symbiotic adaptability is presumed to be a key factor of the invasive character of this tree species.},
